Malini And His Magic - Dai Vernon
In this book, Dai Vernon shows how successfully Malini acted the role of a magician and explains the clever methods by which he entertained and mystified audiences all over the world. His magic gained him an entree into the most exclusive circles ... financial and social, both in America and Europe. A list of prominent people entertained by Malini sounds almost fantastic. He presented performances before several American Presidents at the White House, and had many Command Performances for British Royalty at Buckingham Palace. He received decorations or gifts from almost every Monarch in Europe and Asia. Not only did he merely entertain Royalty, but in many cases he became their intimate friend. At one time he spent a considerable time as the guest of the Duke of Windsor, who was then Prince of Wales.
